Muzzy's have and will be my broadhead of choice. I've found that with the proper set-up and tuning they're dead nuts on with my field points. Go to a proshop to have your bow tuning checked and make sure that your arrow is spined right. Good Luck.

3 blade 100 grain muzzys have always been one of the more difficult heads for me to get good flight with . 5shots site will give you a good starting place , along with eastons tuning guide , that you download from their website . A petpeeve of mine is to have enough fletching on your arrow , 5" feathers will give you enough steering to counteract the muzzys steering in the front of you arrow . Len says there are 3 things to tune for good arrow flight , and he is dead on . The archer , the arrow , and the bow . When one is out of whack it will screw up your arrow flight / consistency . When my arrows are tuned so that a muzzy will hit with my field tipped arrows , I have found that any 100 grain head I put up front hits with them .

My Muzzy 100 3bld and 4 bld both hit with my field tips. I shoot both during the course of a year.

One of my best bloodtrails(result of shot placement) was from a large whitetail doe that soaked up a 4bld muzzy 100....it was a short trail too.

I just seen a friend of mine I havn't seen in a while and he told me that in his experience I should match the fletching with the blade count or have more fletching than blades.I'm shooting a three fletch arrow with a 4 Blade Muzzy. He said that was probably part of my problem along with the quality of the arrow. He said that when you shoot carbon arrows you have to shoot the higher quality to get the same accuracy as an aluminum arrow. He also said that since I am shooting a Parker ultra light 31 that I do not have to worry about tuning it cause it is a solo cam and not a twin cam.He told me that I should for now just get more Practice Muzzy's and scrap my field points for now and re'sight my bow for the Muzzy tips and when I wear everything out then start over the "RIGHT" way!

Thank ya'll for all the advice! Just have a little patience with me cause when I dive into something I can get a little anle!

Whats my bareshaft?

Monetcs make a fixed blade at like 75 or 85 grains that is made for high speed bows. The one person I know who has messed around with them said they flew real nice for them but he will probably stick with the 100 grain ones since he has had such good success with them.

I tryed the 85 Montec,couldn't get them tuned but I use a 3in fletch stright. Try Thunderheads,easyist Broadhead to tune I've seen or used and they are a tough head. They hit the same point as my field tips at 290fps. I am a stickler for a properly tuned bow.
